Abstract
A floating element configured for inhibiting wind flow across a body of liquid so as to suppress liquid evaporation including: a lattice-like structure configured for floating in the body of liquid, the lattice-like structure includes a plurality of elongated portions and joints and a plurality of inner connections configured for creating a plurality of substructure components joined to one another so as to form at least substantially a cubic structure.
Claims21
A floating element configured for inhibiting wind flow across a body of liquid so as to suppress liquid evaporation comprising:
- a lattice-like structure configured for floating in said body of liquid, said lattice-like structure includes a plurality of elongated portions and joints and a plurality of inner connections configured for creating a plurality of substructure components joined to one another so as to form at least substantially a cubic structure.
A system for suppressing water evaporation comprising:
- a reservoir holding a volume of liquid;
- and,
- at least one floating element in said volume of liquid, said at least one floating element includes a lattice-like structure including a plurality of elongated portions and joints and a plurality of inner connections configured for creating a plurality of substructure components joined to one another so as to form at least substantially a cubic structure.
A method for suppressing water evaporation comprising:
- providing a volume of liquid into a reservoir;
- placing at least one floating element in said volume of liquid, said at least one floating element includes a lattice-like structure including a plurality of elongated portions and joints and a plurality of inner connections configured for creating a plurality of substructure components joined to one another so as to form at least substantially a cubic structure.
